=== Sponsors ===<br />
<br />
The travel grant programme is currently sponsored exclusively by OSGeo and private donors. As the demand for travel grant funds is always higher than the supply, we need your help to get as many applicants to Bonn as possible. <br />
<br />
We aim to fund at least one applicant by private donations. In order to reach this goal we need at least 1000 Euro. <br />
<br />
Please consider donating 25 EUR (or more) to this cause. We count on you!<br />
<br />

</form><br />
<br />
Every FOSS4G 2016 attendee who donates 25€ or more will take part in a raffle - you can win a little exquisite surprise at the conference!<br />
<br />
==== Tax returns for donations ====<br />
<br />
The money is going to FOSSGIS e.V. (the german chapter of OSGeo). As FOSSGIS e.V. is a charitable organization, donors who give 100€ or more will receive a written confirmation of their donation in order to claim a tax return (in this case, please contact the conference office [mailto:info@foss4g2016.org]).<br />
<br />
=== Applicants ===<br />
<br />
Please understand that this programme is for community members who are unable to fund their visit to FOSS4G only. Even if you match the below criteria, do not apply if you can afford to pay for your expenses!<br />
<br />
==== Coverage ====<br />
<br />
Travel grants only cover the cost of a conference pass and accommodation in Bonn during the conference. <br />
<br />
Please understand that travel cost like airfare is not covered by the travel grant programme! Applicants are solely responsible to make travel and visa arrangements. For Visa we can assist or write an appropriate letter if needed.<br />
<br />
For students who need help with covering their travel cost, we offer the studentship programme, where students volunteer to help out during the conference. Applicants whose travel grant application has been accepted can earn about 500 Euros in order to cover for their travel cost. This compensation for honorary work will be paid in cash after the conference. If interested, please also register for the [studentship programme](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship) and mention it in your application.<br />
<br />
==== Acceptance criteria ====<br />
<br />
In order to guarantee a transparent and fair allocation of funds, the travel grant programme uses a points system for ranking applications. Points are awarded if applicants match specific criteria, see below.<br />
<br />
After the application phase is over, all applicants are ranked by points, and the applicants with the most points will receive funding. The point system allows a maximum of 9 points.<br />
<br />
Please note that the purpose of the travel grant programme is to enhance diversity at the conference - we might reserve a few programme spots for people with unique and outstanding applications. However, the majority of programme spots will solely be determined by the point ranking.<br />
<br />
Applicants receive points for the following criteria<br />
<br />
===== Origin or residence =====<br />
<br />
The allocation of points is based on the [world bank country rating by income](http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups).<br />
<br />
Applicants from Low-income economies receive 3 points.<br />
Applicants from Lower-middle-income economies receive 2 points.<br />
Applicants from Upper-middle-income economies receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
Please note: Only applicants who are born or currently live in countries in these three groups are eligible for the travel grant programme!<br />
<br />
===== Gender =====<br />
<br />
In order to create a more diverse community, women applicants receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
===== Students =====<br />
<br />
Students in general receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
If a student also participates in the [studentship programme](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship), 1 point is awarded additionally.<br />
<br />
===== Submitted and accepted talks =====<br />
<br />
The Local Organizing Committee values applicants who are willing to contribute to the success of the FOSS4G. Therefore we award points for people who are willing to present at the conference.<br />
<br />
A talk submission that is accepted earns 3 points.<br />
A talk submission that is denied still earns 1 point.<br />
<br />
==== Apply ====<br />
<br />
Please send an email to mailto:info@foss4g2016.org with a single page application letter in the english language. Keep it simple, but not too brief - we want to get to know you! <br />
<br />
Here are some ideas - you might want to tell us about<br />
<br />
- yourself and your connection to the geospatial realm<br />
- your motivation to visit FOSS4G, how you can contribute, what you do hope to learn<br />
- the unique perspective you bring to the conference<br />
<br />
In order to calculate the points and rank your application, please add<br />
<br />
- your place of birth and current country of residence<br />
- your gender<br />
- what talks you have submitted<br />
- whether you have also registered for the studentship programme<br />
- a confirmation from your university if you are a student<br />
<br />
Please note that applications of poor quality will not be ranked - the timeline doesn't allow us to come back to you and ask for missing pieces of information. So please take it seriously and check your application is complete before submitting it.<br />
<br />
==== Timeline ====<br />
<br />
Applications can be handed in from May 1st until May 31st. <br />
<br />
After ranking the applications, we will let you know within two weeks whether or not your application has succeeded.<br />
<br />

Hello Google,<br />
<br />
OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are trying to encourage women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We have come across your grants programme, and wanted to ask if it was possible to get funding from Google.<br />
<br />
https://www.google.com/edu/scholarships/google-travel-and-conference-grants/<br />
<br />
Please let us know if Google can help us.<br />
<br />
Thank you for your consideration :)<br />

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,<br />
<br />
im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />
<br />
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.<br />
<br />
Herzliche Grüße,<br />
<br />

We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are setting up a travel grants program in order to encourage people from third world countries and women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We want to help participants with airfare, accomodation and conference passes. In past years demand for travel grants has always exceeded supply, so we are currently looking for sponsors who are active in Open Source to help us with the travel grants program. We would need around $1500 per participant. <br />
<br />
We are already avid users and promoters of Ubuntu, for example for several years we are handing out OSGeo Live, containing the whole OSGeo software stack, running on an Ubuntu CD and VM!<br />
<br />
Please let us know if Canonical can help us.<br />

=== FOSS4G 2014 ====<br />
<br />
Thanks to Kristin Bott for helping out here<br />
<br />
==== Some draft ====<br />
Hi XXX,<br />
<br />
Following up on a conversation you had with XXXX last week at XXXX re: the upcoming FOSS4G conference.<br />
<br />
To give you a bit of background -- FOSS4G* is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software; this September the 10th annual conference will be held in Portland with nearly 1,000 attendees hailing from 40 countries.<br />
<br />
For you, I believe the key here lies in the tie between postgres and PostGIS.<br />
<br />
The rapid expansion of PostGIS in the world of spatial databases is a huge driver in postgres growth. PostGIS is by far the most commonly-used open-source spatial database, meaning that FOSS4G is in many ways a postgres users conference. Given that XXXX just started hosting postgres, sponsoring FOSS4G would be a unique opportunity to connect with relevant users.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if XXX would be interested in sponsoring FOSS4G as at least a "Silver" sponsor. Silver sponsorship which would net you a 10' x 20' exhibit space and a quarter-page space in the conference program. We have a number of sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/> already on-board and are actively seeking additional opportunities. (And of course, if you'd like to go toe-to-toe with XXX, there's always tie Gold option...)<br />
<br />
Here is a bit more detail on sponsorship levels and benefits <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/> (note that we have flexibility and can tailor benefits packages), as well as a formal sponsor letter <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/call-for-sponsors/> from our Conference Chair, XXXX. (Alternate format: all of this can be found in our sponsorship brochure, attached.)<br />
<br />
Our sponsorships are flexible to some degree; if you have other ideas about how to give XXXX a strong presence at the conference, we'd be happy to discuss. (For example, as a "Silver" sponsor the 'break sponsorship' is listed as an additional $3,000 of support; that number may be able to be shifted.)<br />
<br />
Conference planning is sailing along - we have more than 45 workshops planned, and are finalizing our keynote speakers. We just passed the proposal deadline, and are looking forward to review the nearly<br />
300 submissions. I expect our visibility to increase over the coming months -- very exciting stuff.<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of this, and I hope all's well on<br />
your end.<br />
<br />
====Another draft====<br />
<br />
Hello XXX --<br />
<br />
I’m writing to you on behalf of the 2014 FOSS4G* organizing committee.<br />
<br />
As we build momentum for September, we are looking for more sponsors to join in supporting the conference. We are reaching out to you because we think that XXXX may be interested in joining us as a sponsor.<br />
Given that you are leading a workshop, you came to mind as a first point of contact; if you're not the right person to approach, perhaps you can connect me with the right person?<br />
<br />
Our plans for FOSS4G are packed with exciting content and dynamic people. We have confirmed three engaging keynote speakers — Mike Bostock of d3.js fame, Sarah Novotny of Nginix, and Al Shaw of ProPublica. The conference also features more than 40 workshops <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/workshops/>, and three packed days of presentations <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/sessions/>, with presenters representing 20 different countries.<br />
<br />
We’d love for you to be part of our conference and our community.<br />
<br />
Why FOSS4G, and why 2014?<br />
- FOSS4G is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software, with an expected audience of 850-1,000 attendees from more than 40 countries.<br />
- Our attendees include developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation.<br />
- If your goal is to connect with people in the geospatial realm, FOSS4G is a unique opportunity. With its attractive combination of culture and nature, Portland is an appealing conference venue which will attract a strong domestic and international audience.<br />
- By sponsoring this year, you will be in excellent company. (Current sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/>)<br />
<br />
Sponsorship packages start at $1,500, with benefits increasing at each level. I'm wondering if XXXX might be interested to support us as a Bronze Sponsor ($3,500), which includes a conference pass, a 10'x10'<br />
exhibit space, and a quarter-page listing in our conference program. For full details, see our sponsorship page <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/>.<br />
<br />
We have some flexibility within our sponsorship packages; if our standard options don’t work for you, please, contact us <foss4g2014-sponsor@osgeo.org> to discuss alternatives.<br />
<br />
'''If sponsorship does not feel like a fit, please consider donating to our travel grant program. This year we are trying something new: increasing access to the conference<br />
<https://2014.foss4g.org/travel-grant-details-available/> by helping to cover registration and lodging costs for some deserving attendees. Applications are in, but the requests total more than ten times our current budget. Any donation made will help strengthen the conference by bringing community members with budget limitations. Let me know if you would like to discuss visibility for larger donations.'''<br />
<br />
If you have any questions or thoughts on sponsorship or this year’s conference, please let me know. We look forward to great things in September, and hope you will be able to join us.<br />
<br />
cheers -<br />
<br />

<br />
Every FOSS4G 2016 attendee who donates 25€ or more will take part in a raffle - you can win a little exquisite surprise at the conference!<br />
<br />
==== Tax returns for donations ====<br />
<br />
The money is going to FOSSGIS e.V. (the german chapter of OSGeo). As FOSSGIS e.V. is a charitable organization, donors who give 100€ or more will receive a written confirmation of their donation in order to claim a tax return (in this case, please contact the conference office [mailto:info@foss4g2016.org]).<br />
<br />
=== Applicants ===<br />
<br />
Please understand that this programme is for community members who are unable to fund their visit to FOSS4G only. Even if you match the below criteria, do not apply if you can afford to pay for your expenses!<br />
<br />
==== Coverage ====<br />
<br />
Travel grants only cover the cost of a conference pass and accommodation in Bonn during the conference. <br />
<br />
Please understand that travel cost like airfare is not covered by the travel grant programme! Applicants are solely responsible to make travel and visa arrangements. For Visa we can assist or write an appropriate letter if needed.<br />
<br />
For students who need help with covering their travel cost, we offer the studentship programme, where students volunteer to help out during the conference. Applicants whose travel grant application has been accepted can earn about 500 Euros in order to cover for their travel cost. This compensation for honorary work will be paid in cash after the conference. If interested, please also register for the [studentship programme](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship) and mention it in your application.<br />
<br />
==== Acceptance criteria ====<br />
<br />
In order to guarantee a transparent and fair allocation of funds, the travel grant programme uses a points system for ranking applications. Points are awarded if applicants match specific criteria, see below.<br />
<br />
After the application phase is over, all applicants are ranked by points, and the applicants with the most points will receive funding. The point system allows a maximum of 9 points.<br />
<br />
Please note that the purpose of the travel grant programme is to enhance diversity at the conference - we might reserve a few programme spots for people with unique and outstanding applications. However, the majority of programme spots will solely be determined by the point ranking.<br />
<br />
Applicants receive points for the following criteria<br />
<br />
===== Origin or residence =====<br />
<br />
The allocation of points is based on the [world bank country rating by income](http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups).<br />
<br />
Applicants from Low-income economies receive 3 points.<br />
Applicants from Lower-middle-income economies receive 2 points.<br />
Applicants from Upper-middle-income economies receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
Please note: Only applicants who are born or currently live in countries in these three groups are eligible for the travel grant programme!<br />
<br />
===== Gender =====<br />
<br />
In order to create a more diverse community, women applicants receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
===== Students =====<br />
<br />
Students in general receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
If a student also participates in the [studentship programme](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship), 1 point is awarded additionally.<br />
<br />
===== Submitted and accepted talks =====<br />
<br />
The Local Organizing Committee values applicants who are willing to contribute to the success of the FOSS4G. Therefore we award points for people who are willing to present at the conference.<br />
<br />
A talk submission that is accepted earns 3 points.<br />
A talk submission that is denied still earns 1 point.<br />
<br />
==== Apply ====<br />
<br />
Please send an email to mailto:info@foss4g2016.org with a single page application letter in the english language. Keep it simple, but not too brief - we want to get to know you! <br />

- your gender<br />
- what talks you have submitted<br />

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,<br />
<br />
im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />
<br />
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.<br />

We are setting up a travel grants program in order to encourage people from third world countries and women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We want to help participants with airfare, accomodation and conference passes. In past years demand for travel grants has always exceeded supply, so we are currently looking for sponsors who are active in Open Source to help us with the travel grants program. We would need around $1500 per participant. <br />
<br />
We are already avid users and promoters of Ubuntu, for example for several years we are handing out OSGeo Live, containing the whole OSGeo software stack, running on an Ubuntu CD and VM!<br />

=== FOSS4G 2014 ====<br />
<br />
Thanks to Kristin Bott for helping out here<br />
<br />
==== Some draft ====<br />
Hi XXX,<br />
<br />
Following up on a conversation you had with XXXX last week at XXXX re: the upcoming FOSS4G conference.<br />
<br />
To give you a bit of background -- FOSS4G* is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software; this September the 10th annual conference will be held in Portland with nearly 1,000 attendees hailing from 40 countries.<br />
<br />
For you, I believe the key here lies in the tie between postgres and PostGIS.<br />
<br />
The rapid expansion of PostGIS in the world of spatial databases is a huge driver in postgres growth. PostGIS is by far the most commonly-used open-source spatial database, meaning that FOSS4G is in many ways a postgres users conference. Given that XXXX just started hosting postgres, sponsoring FOSS4G would be a unique opportunity to connect with relevant users.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if XXX would be interested in sponsoring FOSS4G as at least a "Silver" sponsor. Silver sponsorship which would net you a 10' x 20' exhibit space and a quarter-page space in the conference program. We have a number of sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/> already on-board and are actively seeking additional opportunities. (And of course, if you'd like to go toe-to-toe with XXX, there's always tie Gold option...)<br />
<br />
Here is a bit more detail on sponsorship levels and benefits <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/> (note that we have flexibility and can tailor benefits packages), as well as a formal sponsor letter <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/call-for-sponsors/> from our Conference Chair, XXXX. (Alternate format: all of this can be found in our sponsorship brochure, attached.)<br />
<br />
Our sponsorships are flexible to some degree; if you have other ideas about how to give XXXX a strong presence at the conference, we'd be happy to discuss. (For example, as a "Silver" sponsor the 'break sponsorship' is listed as an additional $3,000 of support; that number may be able to be shifted.)<br />
<br />
Conference planning is sailing along - we have more than 45 workshops planned, and are finalizing our keynote speakers. We just passed the proposal deadline, and are looking forward to review the nearly<br />
300 submissions. I expect our visibility to increase over the coming months -- very exciting stuff.<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of this, and I hope all's well on<br />
your end.<br />
<br />
====Another draft====<br />
<br />
Hello XXX --<br />
<br />
I’m writing to you on behalf of the 2014 FOSS4G* organizing committee.<br />
<br />
As we build momentum for September, we are looking for more sponsors to join in supporting the conference. We are reaching out to you because we think that XXXX may be interested in joining us as a sponsor.<br />
Given that you are leading a workshop, you came to mind as a first point of contact; if you're not the right person to approach, perhaps you can connect me with the right person?<br />
<br />
Our plans for FOSS4G are packed with exciting content and dynamic people. We have confirmed three engaging keynote speakers — Mike Bostock of d3.js fame, Sarah Novotny of Nginix, and Al Shaw of ProPublica. The conference also features more than 40 workshops <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/workshops/>, and three packed days of presentations <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/sessions/>, with presenters representing 20 different countries.<br />
<br />
We’d love for you to be part of our conference and our community.<br />
<br />
Why FOSS4G, and why 2014?<br />
- FOSS4G is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software, with an expected audience of 850-1,000 attendees from more than 40 countries.<br />
- Our attendees include developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation.<br />
- If your goal is to connect with people in the geospatial realm, FOSS4G is a unique opportunity. With its attractive combination of culture and nature, Portland is an appealing conference venue which will attract a strong domestic and international audience.<br />
- By sponsoring this year, you will be in excellent company. (Current sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/>)<br />
<br />
Sponsorship packages start at $1,500, with benefits increasing at each level. I'm wondering if XXXX might be interested to support us as a Bronze Sponsor ($3,500), which includes a conference pass, a 10'x10'<br />
exhibit space, and a quarter-page listing in our conference program. For full details, see our sponsorship page <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/>.<br />
<br />
We have some flexibility within our sponsorship packages; if our standard options don’t work for you, please, contact us <foss4g2014-sponsor@osgeo.org> to discuss alternatives.<br />
<br />
'''If sponsorship does not feel like a fit, please consider donating to our travel grant program. This year we are trying something new: increasing access to the conference<br />
<https://2014.foss4g.org/travel-grant-details-available/> by helping to cover registration and lodging costs for some deserving attendees. Applications are in, but the requests total more than ten times our current budget. Any donation made will help strengthen the conference by bringing community members with budget limitations. Let me know if you would like to discuss visibility for larger donations.'''<br />
<br />
If you have any questions or thoughts on sponsorship or this year’s conference, please let me know. We look forward to great things in September, and hope you will be able to join us.<br />
<br />
cheers -<br />
<br />

The travel grant programme is currently sponsored exclusively by OSGeo and private donors. As the demand for travel grant funds is always higher than the supply, we need your help to get as many applicants to Bonn as possible. <br />
<br />
We aim to fund at least one applicant by private donations. In order to reach this goal we need at least 1000 Euro. <br />
<br />
Please consider donating 25 EUR (or more) to this cause. We count on you!<br />

im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />
<br />
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.<br />
<br />
Herzliche Grüße,<br />
<br />

OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another about Open Source software in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are setting up a travel grants program in order to encourage people from third world countries and women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We want to help participants with airfare, accomodation and conference passes. In past years demand for travel grants has always exceeded supply, so we are currently looking for sponsors who are active in Open Source to help us with the travel grants program. We would need around $1500 per participant. <br />
<br />
We are already avid users and promoters of Ubuntu, for example for several years we are handing out OSGeo Live, containing the whole OSGeo software stack, running on an Ubuntu CD and VM!<br />
<br />
Please let us know if Canonical can help us.<br />

Hi XXX,<br />
<br />
Following up on a conversation you had with XXXX last week at XXXX re: the upcoming FOSS4G conference.<br />
<br />
To give you a bit of background -- FOSS4G* is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software; this September the 10th annual conference will be held in Portland with nearly 1,000 attendees hailing from 40 countries.<br />
<br />
For you, I believe the key here lies in the tie between postgres and PostGIS.<br />
<br />
The rapid expansion of PostGIS in the world of spatial databases is a huge driver in postgres growth. PostGIS is by far the most commonly-used open-source spatial database, meaning that FOSS4G is in many ways a postgres users conference. Given that XXXX just started hosting postgres, sponsoring FOSS4G would be a unique opportunity to connect with relevant users.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if XXX would be interested in sponsoring FOSS4G as at least a "Silver" sponsor. Silver sponsorship which would net you a 10' x 20' exhibit space and a quarter-page space in the conference program. We have a number of sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/> already on-board and are actively seeking additional opportunities. (And of course, if you'd like to go toe-to-toe with XXX, there's always tie Gold option...)<br />
<br />
Here is a bit more detail on sponsorship levels and benefits <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/> (note that we have flexibility and can tailor benefits packages), as well as a formal sponsor letter <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/call-for-sponsors/> from our Conference Chair, XXXX. (Alternate format: all of this can be found in our sponsorship brochure, attached.)<br />
<br />
Our sponsorships are flexible to some degree; if you have other ideas about how to give XXXX a strong presence at the conference, we'd be happy to discuss. (For example, as a "Silver" sponsor the 'break sponsorship' is listed as an additional $3,000 of support; that number may be able to be shifted.)<br />
<br />
Conference planning is sailing along - we have more than 45 workshops planned, and are finalizing our keynote speakers. We just passed the proposal deadline, and are looking forward to review the nearly<br />
300 submissions. I expect our visibility to increase over the coming months -- very exciting stuff.<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of this, and I hope all's well on<br />
your end.<br />
<br />

<br />
Hello XXX --<br />
<br />
I’m writing to you on behalf of the 2014 FOSS4G* organizing committee.<br />
<br />
As we build momentum for September, we are looking for more sponsors to join in supporting the conference. We are reaching out to you because we think that XXXX may be interested in joining us as a sponsor.<br />
Given that you are leading a workshop, you came to mind as a first point of contact; if you're not the right person to approach, perhaps you can connect me with the right person?<br />
<br />
Our plans for FOSS4G are packed with exciting content and dynamic people. We have confirmed three engaging keynote speakers — Mike Bostock of d3.js fame, Sarah Novotny of Nginix, and Al Shaw of ProPublica. The conference also features more than 40 workshops <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/workshops/>, and three packed days of presentations <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/sessions/>, with presenters representing 20 different countries.<br />
<br />
We’d love for you to be part of our conference and our community.<br />
<br />
Why FOSS4G, and why 2014?<br />
- FOSS4G is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software, with an expected audience of 850-1,000 attendees from more than 40 countries.<br />
- Our attendees include developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation.<br />
- If your goal is to connect with people in the geospatial realm, FOSS4G is a unique opportunity. With its attractive combination of culture and nature, Portland is an appealing conference venue which will attract a strong domestic and international audience.<br />
- By sponsoring this year, you will be in excellent company. (Current sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/>)<br />
<br />
Sponsorship packages start at $1,500, with benefits increasing at each level. I'm wondering if XXXX might be interested to support us as a Bronze Sponsor ($3,500), which includes a conference pass, a 10'x10'<br />
exhibit space, and a quarter-page listing in our conference program. For full details, see our sponsorship page <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/>.<br />
<br />
We have some flexibility within our sponsorship packages; if our standard options don’t work for you, please, contact us <foss4g2014-sponsor@osgeo.org> to discuss alternatives.<br />
<br />
'''If sponsorship does not feel like a fit, please consider donating to our travel grant program. This year we are trying something new: increasing access to the conference<br />
<https://2014.foss4g.org/travel-grant-details-available/> by helping to cover registration and lodging costs for some deserving attendees. Applications are in, but the requests total more than ten times our current budget. Any donation made will help strengthen the conference by bringing community members with budget limitations. Let me know if you would like to discuss visibility for larger donations.'''<br />
<br />
If you have any questions or thoughts on sponsorship or this year’s conference, please let me know. We look forward to great things in September, and hope you will be able to join us.<br />
<br />
cheers -<br />

=== Sponsors ===<br />
<br />
The travel grant programme is currently sponsored exclusively by OSGeo and private donors. As the demand for travel grant funds is always higher than the supply, we need your help to get as many applicants to Bonn as possible. <br />
<br />
We aim to fund at least one applicant by private donations. In order to reach this goal we need at least 1000 Euro. <br />
<br />
Please consider donating 25 EUR (or more) to this cause. We count on you!<br />
<br />
<form action="https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr" method="post" target="_top"><br />
<input type="hidden" name="cmd" value="_s-xclick"><br />
<input type="hidden" name="hosted_button_id" value="9D9KWE8SDTBVN"><br />

<img alt="" border="0" src="https://www.paypalobjects.com/de_DE/i/scr/pixel.gif" width="1" height="1"><br />
</form><br />
<br />
Every FOSS4G 2016 attendee who donates 25€ or more will take part in a raffle - you can win a little exquisite surprise at the conference!<br />
<br />
==== Tax returns for donations ====<br />
<br />
The money is going to FOSSGIS e.V. (the german chapter of OSGeo). As FOSSGIS e.V. is a charitable organization, donors who give 100€ or more will receive a written confirmation of their donation in order to claim a tax return (in this case, please contact the conference office [mailto:info@foss4g2016.org]).<br />
<br />
=== Applicants ===<br />
<br />
Please understand that this programme is for community members who are unable to fund their visit to FOSS4G only. Even if you match the below criteria, do not apply if you can afford to pay for your expenses!<br />
<br />
==== Coverage ====<br />
<br />
Travel grants only cover the cost of a conference pass and accommodation in Bonn during the conference. <br />
<br />
Please understand that travel cost like airfare is not covered by the travel grant programme! Applicants are solely responsible to make travel and visa arrangements. For Visa we can assist or write an appropriate letter if needed.<br />
<br />
For students who need help with covering their travel cost, we offer the studentship programme, where students volunteer to help out during the conference. Applicants whose travel grant application has been accepted can earn about 500 Euros in order to cover for their travel cost. This compensation for honorary work will be paid in cash after the conference. If interested, please also register for the [studentship programme](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship) and mention it in your application.<br />
<br />
==== Acceptance criteria ====<br />
<br />
In order to guarantee a transparent and fair allocation of funds, the travel grant programme uses a points system for ranking applications. Points are awarded if applicants match specific criteria, see below.<br />
<br />
After the application phase is over, all applicants are ranked by points, and the applicants with the most points will receive funding. The point system allows a maximum of 9 points.<br />
<br />
Please note that the purpose of the travel grant programme is to enhance diversity at the conference - we might reserve a few programme spots for people with unique and outstanding applications. However, the majority of programme spots will solely be determined by the point ranking.<br />
<br />
Applicants receive points for the following criteria<br />
<br />
===== Origin or residence =====<br />
<br />
The allocation of points is based on the [world bank country rating by income](http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups).<br />
<br />
Applicants from Low-income economies receive 3 points.<br />
Applicants from Lower-middle-income economies receive 2 points.<br />
Applicants from Upper-middle-income economies receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
Please note: Only applicants who are born or currently live in countries in these three groups are eligible for the travel grant programme!<br />
<br />
===== Gender =====<br />
<br />
In order to create a more diverse community, women applicants receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
===== Students =====<br />
<br />
Students in general receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
If a student also participates in the [studentship programme](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship), 1 point is awarded additionally.<br />
<br />
===== Submitted and accepted talks =====<br />
<br />
The Local Organizing Committee values applicants who are willing to contribute to the success of the FOSS4G. Therefore we award points for people who are willing to present at the conference.<br />
<br />
A talk submission that is accepted earns 3 points.<br />
A talk submission that is denied still earns 1 point.<br />
<br />
==== Apply ====<br />
<br />
Please send an email to mailto:info@foss4g2016.org with a single page application letter in the english language. Keep it simple, but not too brief - we want to get to know you! <br />
<br />
Here are some ideas - you might want to tell us about<br />
<br />
- yourself and your connection to the geospatial realm<br />
- your motivation to visit FOSS4G, how you can contribute, what you do hope to learn<br />
- the unique perspective you bring to the conference<br />
<br />
In order to calculate the points and rank your application, please add<br />
<br />
- your place of birth and current country of residence<br />
- your gender<br />
- what talks you have submitted<br />
- whether you have also registered for the studentship programme<br />
- a confirmation from your university if you are a student<br />
<br />
Please note that applications of poor quality will not be ranked - the timeline doesn't allow us to come back to you and ask for missing pieces of information. So please take it seriously and check your application is complete before submitting it.<br />
<br />
==== Timeline ====<br />
<br />
Applications can be handed in from May 1st until May 31st. <br />
<br />
After ranking the applications, we will let you know within two weeks whether or not your application has succeeded.<br />
<br />

The travel grants program is currently sponsored exclusively by OSGeo and private donors. As the demand for travel grant funds is always higher than the supply, we need your help to get as many applicants to Bonn as possible. <br />
<br />
We aim to fund at least one applicant by private donations. In order to reach this goal we need at least 1000 Euro. <br />
<br />
Please consider donating 25 EUR (or more) to this cause. We count on you!<br />

<br />
Every FOSS4G 2016 attendee who donates 25€ or more will take part in a raffle - you can win an exquisite little surprise at the conference!<br />
<br />
==== Tax returns for donations ====<br />
<br />
The money is going to FOSSGIS e.V. (the german chapter of OSGeo). As FOSSGIS e.V. is a charitable organization, donors who give 100€ or more will receive a written confirmation of their donation in order to claim a tax return (in this case, please [contact FOSSGIS e.V.](https://www.fossgis.de/spenden)).<br />
<br />
=== Applicants ===<br />
<br />
Please understand that this program is for community members who are unable to fund their visit to FOSS4G. Even if you match the below criteria, do not apply if you can afford to pay for your expenses!<br />
<br />
==== Coverage ====<br />
<br />
Travel grants only cover the cost of a conference pass and accomodation in Bonn during the conference. <br />
<br />
Please understand that travel cost like airfare is not covered by the travel grant program! Applicants are solely responsible to make travel and visa arrangements.<br />
<br />
For students who need help with covering their travel cost, we offer the studentship programme, where students volunteer to help out during the conference. Applicants whose travel grant application has been accepted can earn about 500 Euros in order to cover for their travel cost. This compensation for honorary work will be paid in cash after the conference. If interested, please also register for the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship) and mention it in your application.<br />
<br />
==== Acceptance criteria ====<br />
<br />
In order to guarantee a transparent and fair allocation of funds, the travel grants program uses a points system for ranking applications. Points are awarded if applicants match specific criteria, see below.<br />
<br />
After the application phase is over, all applicants are ranked by points, and the applicants with the most points will receive funding. The point system allows a maximum of 9 points.<br />
<br />
Please note that the purpose of the travel grant program is to enhance diversity at the conference - we might reserve a few program spots for people with unique and outstanding applications. However, the majority of program spots will solely be determined by the point ranking.<br />
<br />
Applicants receive points for the following criteria<br />
<br />
===== Origin or residence =====<br />
<br />
The allocation of points is based on the [world bank country rating by income](http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups).<br />
<br />
Applicants from Low-income economies receive 3 points.<br />
Applicants from Lower-middle-income economies receive 2 points.<br />
Applicants from Upper-middle-income economies receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
Please note: Only applicants who are born or currently live in countries in these three groups are eligible for the travel grants program!<br />
<br />
===== Gender =====<br />
<br />
In order to create a more diverse community, women applicants receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
===== Students =====<br />
<br />
Students in general receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
If a student also participates in the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship), 1 point is awarded additionally.<br />
<br />
===== Submitted and accepted talks =====<br />
<br />
The Local Organizing Committee values applicants who are willing to contribute to the success of the FOSS4G. Therefore we award points for people who are willing to present at the conference.<br />
<br />
A talk submission that is accepted earns 3 points.<br />
A talk submission that is denied still earns 1 point.<br />
<br />
==== Apply ====<br />
<br />
Please send an email to mailto:info@foss4g2016.org with a single page application letter in the english language. Keep it simple, but not too brief - we want to get to know you! <br />
<br />
Here are some ideas - you might want to tell us about<br />
<br />
- yourself and your connection to the geospatial realm<br />
- your motivation to visit FOSS4G, how you can contribute, what you do hope to learn<br />
- the unique perspective you bring to the conference<br />
<br />
In order to calculate the points and rank your application, please add<br />
<br />
- your place of birth and current country of residence<br />
- your gender<br />
- what talks you have submitted<br />
- whether you have also registered for the studentship program<br />
- a confirmation from your university if you are a student<br />
<br />
Please note that applications of poor quality will not be ranked - the timeline doesn't allow us to come back to you and ask for missing pieces of information. So please take it seriously and check your application is complete before submitting it.<br />
<br />
==== Timeline ====<br />
<br />
Applications can be handed in from May 1st until May 31st. <br />
<br />
After ranking the applications, we will let you know within two weeks whether or not your application has succeeded.<br />

Hello Google,<br />
<br />
OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are trying to encourage women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We have come across your grants programme, and wanted to ask if it was possible to get funding from Google.<br />
<br />
https://www.google.com/edu/scholarships/google-travel-and-conference-grants/<br />
<br />
Please let us know if Google can help us.<br />

Thank you for your consideration :)<br />

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,<br />
<br />
im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />
<br />
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.<br />
<br />
Herzliche Grüße,<br />
<br />

We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are setting up a travel grants program in order to encourage people from third world countries and women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We want to help participants with airfare, accomodation and conference passes. In past years demand for travel grants has always exceeded supply, so we are currently looking for sponsors who are active in Open Source to help us with the travel grants program. We would need around $1500 per participant. <br />
<br />
We are already avid users and promoters of Ubuntu, for example for several years we are handing out OSGeo Live, containing the whole OSGeo software stack, running on an Ubuntu CD and VM!<br />
<br />
Please let us know if Canonical can help us.<br />

=== FOSS4G 2014 ====<br />
<br />
Thanks to Kristin Bott for helping out here<br />
<br />
==== Some draft ====<br />
Hi XXX,<br />
<br />
Following up on a conversation you had with XXXX last week at XXXX re: the upcoming FOSS4G conference.<br />
<br />
To give you a bit of background -- FOSS4G* is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software; this September the 10th annual conference will be held in Portland with nearly 1,000 attendees hailing from 40 countries.<br />
<br />
For you, I believe the key here lies in the tie between postgres and PostGIS.<br />
<br />
The rapid expansion of PostGIS in the world of spatial databases is a huge driver in postgres growth. PostGIS is by far the most commonly-used open-source spatial database, meaning that FOSS4G is in many ways a postgres users conference. Given that XXXX just started hosting postgres, sponsoring FOSS4G would be a unique opportunity to connect with relevant users.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if XXX would be interested in sponsoring FOSS4G as at least a "Silver" sponsor. Silver sponsorship which would net you a 10' x 20' exhibit space and a quarter-page space in the conference program. We have a number of sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/> already on-board and are actively seeking additional opportunities. (And of course, if you'd like to go toe-to-toe with XXX, there's always tie Gold option...)<br />
<br />
Here is a bit more detail on sponsorship levels and benefits <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/> (note that we have flexibility and can tailor benefits packages), as well as a formal sponsor letter <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/call-for-sponsors/> from our Conference Chair, XXXX. (Alternate format: all of this can be found in our sponsorship brochure, attached.)<br />
<br />
Our sponsorships are flexible to some degree; if you have other ideas about how to give XXXX a strong presence at the conference, we'd be happy to discuss. (For example, as a "Silver" sponsor the 'break sponsorship' is listed as an additional $3,000 of support; that number may be able to be shifted.)<br />
<br />
Conference planning is sailing along - we have more than 45 workshops planned, and are finalizing our keynote speakers. We just passed the proposal deadline, and are looking forward to review the nearly<br />
300 submissions. I expect our visibility to increase over the coming months -- very exciting stuff.<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of this, and I hope all's well on<br />
your end.<br />
<br />
====Another draft====<br />
<br />
Hello XXX --<br />
<br />
I’m writing to you on behalf of the 2014 FOSS4G* organizing committee.<br />
<br />
As we build momentum for September, we are looking for more sponsors to join in supporting the conference. We are reaching out to you because we think that XXXX may be interested in joining us as a sponsor.<br />
Given that you are leading a workshop, you came to mind as a first point of contact; if you're not the right person to approach, perhaps you can connect me with the right person?<br />
<br />
Our plans for FOSS4G are packed with exciting content and dynamic people. We have confirmed three engaging keynote speakers — Mike Bostock of d3.js fame, Sarah Novotny of Nginix, and Al Shaw of ProPublica. The conference also features more than 40 workshops <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/workshops/>, and three packed days of presentations <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/sessions/>, with presenters representing 20 different countries.<br />
<br />
We’d love for you to be part of our conference and our community.<br />
<br />
Why FOSS4G, and why 2014?<br />
- FOSS4G is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software, with an expected audience of 850-1,000 attendees from more than 40 countries.<br />
- Our attendees include developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation.<br />
- If your goal is to connect with people in the geospatial realm, FOSS4G is a unique opportunity. With its attractive combination of culture and nature, Portland is an appealing conference venue which will attract a strong domestic and international audience.<br />
- By sponsoring this year, you will be in excellent company. (Current sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/>)<br />
<br />
Sponsorship packages start at $1,500, with benefits increasing at each level. I'm wondering if XXXX might be interested to support us as a Bronze Sponsor ($3,500), which includes a conference pass, a 10'x10'<br />
exhibit space, and a quarter-page listing in our conference program. For full details, see our sponsorship page <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/>.<br />
<br />
We have some flexibility within our sponsorship packages; if our standard options don’t work for you, please, contact us <foss4g2014-sponsor@osgeo.org> to discuss alternatives.<br />
<br />
'''If sponsorship does not feel like a fit, please consider donating to our travel grant program. This year we are trying something new: increasing access to the conference<br />
<https://2014.foss4g.org/travel-grant-details-available/> by helping to cover registration and lodging costs for some deserving attendees. Applications are in, but the requests total more than ten times our current budget. Any donation made will help strengthen the conference by bringing community members with budget limitations. Let me know if you would like to discuss visibility for larger donations.'''<br />
<br />
If you have any questions or thoughts on sponsorship or this year’s conference, please let me know. We look forward to great things in September, and hope you will be able to join us.<br />
<br />
cheers -<br />

Hello Google,<br />
<br />
OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are trying to encourage women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We have come across your grants programme, and wanted to ask if it was possible to get funding from Google.<br />
<br />

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,<br />
<br />
im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />
<br />
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.<br />
<br />
Herzliche Grüße,<br />

We are setting up a travel grants program in order to encourage people from third world countries and women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We want to help participants with airfare, accomodation and conference passes. In past years demand for travel grants has always exceeded supply, so we are currently looking for sponsors who are active in Open Source to help us with the travel grants program. We would need around $1500 per participant. <br />
<br />
We are already avid users and promoters of Ubuntu, for example for several years we are handing out OSGeo Live, containing the whole OSGeo software stack, running on an Ubuntu CD and VM!<br />

<br />
Thanks to Kristin Bott for helping out here<br />
<br />
==== Some draft ====<br />
Hi XXX,<br />
<br />
Following up on a conversation you had with XXXX last week at XXXX re: the upcoming FOSS4G conference.<br />
<br />
To give you a bit of background -- FOSS4G* is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software; this September the 10th annual conference will be held in Portland with nearly 1,000 attendees hailing from 40 countries.<br />
<br />
For you, I believe the key here lies in the tie between postgres and PostGIS.<br />
<br />
The rapid expansion of PostGIS in the world of spatial databases is a huge driver in postgres growth. PostGIS is by far the most commonly-used open-source spatial database, meaning that FOSS4G is in many ways a postgres users conference. Given that XXXX just started hosting postgres, sponsoring FOSS4G would be a unique opportunity to connect with relevant users.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if XXX would be interested in sponsoring FOSS4G as at least a "Silver" sponsor. Silver sponsorship which would net you a 10' x 20' exhibit space and a quarter-page space in the conference program. We have a number of sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/> already on-board and are actively seeking additional opportunities. (And of course, if you'd like to go toe-to-toe with XXX, there's always tie Gold option...)<br />
<br />
Here is a bit more detail on sponsorship levels and benefits <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/> (note that we have flexibility and can tailor benefits packages), as well as a formal sponsor letter <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/call-for-sponsors/> from our Conference Chair, XXXX. (Alternate format: all of this can be found in our sponsorship brochure, attached.)<br />
<br />
Our sponsorships are flexible to some degree; if you have other ideas about how to give XXXX a strong presence at the conference, we'd be happy to discuss. (For example, as a "Silver" sponsor the 'break sponsorship' is listed as an additional $3,000 of support; that number may be able to be shifted.)<br />
<br />
Conference planning is sailing along - we have more than 45 workshops planned, and are finalizing our keynote speakers. We just passed the proposal deadline, and are looking forward to review the nearly<br />
300 submissions. I expect our visibility to increase over the coming months -- very exciting stuff.<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of this, and I hope all's well on<br />
your end.<br />
<br />
====Another draft====<br />
<br />
Hello XXX --<br />
<br />
I’m writing to you on behalf of the 2014 FOSS4G* organizing committee.<br />
<br />
As we build momentum for September, we are looking for more sponsors to join in supporting the conference. We are reaching out to you because we think that XXXX may be interested in joining us as a sponsor.<br />
Given that you are leading a workshop, you came to mind as a first point of contact; if you're not the right person to approach, perhaps you can connect me with the right person?<br />
<br />
Our plans for FOSS4G are packed with exciting content and dynamic people. We have confirmed three engaging keynote speakers — Mike Bostock of d3.js fame, Sarah Novotny of Nginix, and Al Shaw of ProPublica. The conference also features more than 40 workshops <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/workshops/>, and three packed days of presentations <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/sessions/>, with presenters representing 20 different countries.<br />
<br />
We’d love for you to be part of our conference and our community.<br />
<br />
Why FOSS4G, and why 2014?<br />
- FOSS4G is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software, with an expected audience of 850-1,000 attendees from more than 40 countries.<br />
- Our attendees include developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation.<br />
- If your goal is to connect with people in the geospatial realm, FOSS4G is a unique opportunity. With its attractive combination of culture and nature, Portland is an appealing conference venue which will attract a strong domestic and international audience.<br />
- By sponsoring this year, you will be in excellent company. (Current sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/>)<br />
<br />
Sponsorship packages start at $1,500, with benefits increasing at each level. I'm wondering if XXXX might be interested to support us as a Bronze Sponsor ($3,500), which includes a conference pass, a 10'x10'<br />
exhibit space, and a quarter-page listing in our conference program. For full details, see our sponsorship page <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/>.<br />
<br />
We have some flexibility within our sponsorship packages; if our standard options don’t work for you, please, contact us <foss4g2014-sponsor@osgeo.org> to discuss alternatives.<br />
<br />
'''If sponsorship does not feel like a fit, please consider donating to our travel grant program. This year we are trying something new: increasing access to the conference<br />
<https://2014.foss4g.org/travel-grant-details-available/> by helping to cover registration and lodging costs for some deserving attendees. Applications are in, but the requests total more than ten times our current budget. Any donation made will help strengthen the conference by bringing community members with budget limitations. Let me know if you would like to discuss visibility for larger donations.'''<br />
<br />
If you have any questions or thoughts on sponsorship or this year’s conference, please let me know. We look forward to great things in September, and hope you will be able to join us.<br />
<br />
cheers -<br />

=== Sponsors ===<br />
<br />
The travel grants program is currently sponsored exclusively by OSGeo and private donors. As the demand for travel grant funds is always higher than the supply, we need your help to get as many applicants to Bonn as possible. We aim to fund at least one applicant by private donations. In order to reach this goal we need at least 1000 Euro. <br />
<br />
Please consider donating 25 EUR (or more) to this cause! (Hall of fame for donors? Raffle?)<br />
<br />
(A progress bar would also be nice)<br />
<br />
==== Tax returns for donations ====<br />
<br />
The money is going to FOSSGIS e.V. (the german chapter of OSGeo). As FOSSGIS e.V. is a charitable organization, donors will receive (if needed) a written confirmation of their donation in order to claim a tax return.<br />
<br />
=== Applicants ===<br />
<br />
==== Coverage ====<br />
<br />
Travel grants only cover the cost of a conference pass and accomodation in Bonn during the conference. <br />
<br />
Please understand that travel cost like airfare is not covered by the travel grants program! Applicants are solely responsible to make travel and visa arrangements.<br />
<br />
For students who need help with covering their travel cost, we offer the studentship programme, where students volunteer to help out during the conference. Applicants whose travel grants application has been accepted can earn a few hundred Euros (exact amount?) in order to cover for their travel cost. This compensation will be paid in cash after the conference. If interested, please also register for the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship).<br />
<br />
==== Acceptance criteria ====<br />
<br />
In order to guarantee a transparent and fair allocation of funds, the travel grants program uses a points system for ranking applications. Points are awarded if applicants match specific criteria, see below. After the application phase is over, all applicants are ranked by points, and the applicants with the most points will receive funding. The point system allows a maximum of 9 points. <br />
<br />
Applicants receive points for the following criteria<br />
<br />
===== Origin =====<br />
<br />
The allocation of points is based on the [world bank country rating by income](http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups).<br />
<br />
Applicants from Low-income economies receive 3 points.<br />
Applicants from Lower-middle-income economies receive 2 points.<br />
Applicants from Upper-middle-income economies receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
Please note: Only applicants from countries in these three groups are eligible for the travel grants program! (nationality or residence?)<br />
<br />
===== Gender =====<br />
<br />
In order to create a more diverse community, women applicants receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
===== Students =====<br />
<br />
Students in general receive 1 point. (maximum age?)<br />
<br />
If a student also participates in the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship), 1 point is awarded additionally.<br />
<br />
===== Submitted and accepted talks =====<br />
<br />
The Local Organizing Committee values applicants who are willing to contribute to the success of the FOSS4G. Therefore we award points for people who are willing to present at the conference.<br />
<br />
A talk submission that is denied earns 1 point.<br />
A talk submission that is accepted earns 3 points.<br />
<br />
==== Apply ====<br />
<br />
(How can applicants apply?)<br />
<br />
==== Timeline ====<br />
<br />
Applications can be handed in during the month of May. The decision will be made and announced in the first week of June. (Timeline?)<br />
<br />

Hi XXX,<br />
<br />
Following up on a conversation you had with XXXX last week at XXXX re: the upcoming FOSS4G conference.<br />
<br />
To give you a bit of background -- FOSS4G* is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software; this September the 10th annual conference will be held in Portland with nearly 1,000 attendees hailing from 40 countries.<br />
<br />
For you, I believe the key here lies in the tie between postgres and PostGIS.<br />
<br />
The rapid expansion of PostGIS in the world of spatial databases is a huge driver in postgres growth. PostGIS is by far the most commonly-used open-source spatial database, meaning that FOSS4G is in many ways a postgres users conference. Given that XXXX just started hosting postgres, sponsoring FOSS4G would be a unique opportunity to connect with relevant users.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if XXX would be interested in sponsoring FOSS4G as at least a "Silver" sponsor. Silver sponsorship which would net you a 10' x 20' exhibit space and a quarter-page space in the conference program. We have a number of sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/> already on-board and are actively seeking additional opportunities. (And of course, if you'd like to go toe-to-toe with XXX, there's always tie Gold option...)<br />
<br />
Here is a bit more detail on sponsorship levels and benefits <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/> (note that we have flexibility and can tailor benefits packages), as well as a formal sponsor letter <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/call-for-sponsors/> from our Conference Chair, XXXX. (Alternate format: all of this can be found in our sponsorship brochure, attached.)<br />
<br />
Our sponsorships are flexible to some degree; if you have other ideas about how to give XXXX a strong presence at the conference, we'd be happy to discuss. (For example, as a "Silver" sponsor the 'break sponsorship' is listed as an additional $3,000 of support; that number may be able to be shifted.)<br />
<br />
Conference planning is sailing along - we have more than 45 workshops planned, and are finalizing our keynote speakers. We just passed the proposal deadline, and are looking forward to review the nearly<br />
300 submissions. I expect our visibility to increase over the coming months -- very exciting stuff.<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of this, and I hope all's well on<br />
your end.<br />

<br />
Hello XXX --<br />
<br />
I’m writing to you on behalf of the 2014 FOSS4G* organizing committee.<br />
<br />
As we build momentum for September, we are looking for more sponsors to join in supporting the conference. We are reaching out to you because we think that XXXX may be interested in joining us as a sponsor.<br />
Given that you are leading a workshop, you came to mind as a first point of contact; if you're not the right person to approach, perhaps you can connect me with the right person?<br />
<br />
Our plans for FOSS4G are packed with exciting content and dynamic people. We have confirmed three engaging keynote speakers — Mike Bostock of d3.js fame, Sarah Novotny of Nginix, and Al Shaw of ProPublica. The conference also features more than 40 workshops <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/workshops/>, and three packed days of presentations <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/sessions/>, with presenters representing 20 different countries.<br />
<br />
We’d love for you to be part of our conference and our community.<br />
<br />
Why FOSS4G, and why 2014?<br />
- FOSS4G is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software, with an expected audience of 850-1,000 attendees from more than 40 countries.<br />
- Our attendees include developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation.<br />
- If your goal is to connect with people in the geospatial realm, FOSS4G is a unique opportunity. With its attractive combination of culture and nature, Portland is an appealing conference venue which will attract a strong domestic and international audience.<br />
- By sponsoring this year, you will be in excellent company. (Current sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/>)<br />
<br />
Sponsorship packages start at $1,500, with benefits increasing at each level. I'm wondering if XXXX might be interested to support us as a Bronze Sponsor ($3,500), which includes a conference pass, a 10'x10'<br />
exhibit space, and a quarter-page listing in our conference program. For full details, see our sponsorship page <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/>.<br />

=== Sponsors ===<br />
<br />
The travel grants program is currently sponsored exclusively by OSGeo and private donors. As the demand for travel grant funds is always higher than the supply, we need your help to get as many applicants to Bonn as possible. We aim to fund at least one applicant by private donations. In order to reach this goal we need at least 1000 Euro. <br />
<br />
Please consider donating 25 EUR (or more) to this cause! (Hall of fame for donors? Raffle?)<br />
<br />
(A progress bar would also be nice)<br />
<br />
==== Tax returns for donations ====<br />
<br />
The money is going to FOSSGIS e.V. (the german chapter of OSGeo). As FOSSGIS e.V. is a charitable organization, donors will receive (if needed) a written confirmation of their donation in order to claim a tax return.<br />
<br />
=== Applicants ===<br />
<br />
==== Coverage ====<br />
<br />
Travel grants only cover the cost of a conference pass and accomodation in Bonn during the conference. <br />
<br />
Please understand that travel cost like airfare is not covered by the travel grants program! Applicants are solely responsible to make travel and visa arrangements.<br />
<br />
For students who need help with covering their travel cost, we offer the studentship programme, where students volunteer to help out during the conference. Applicants whose travel grants application has been accepted can earn a few hundred Euros (exact amount?) in order to cover for their travel cost. This compensation will be paid in cash after the conference. If interested, please also register for the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship).<br />
<br />
==== Acceptance criteria ====<br />
<br />
In order to guarantee a transparent and fair allocation of funds, the travel grants program uses a points system for ranking applications. Points are awarded if applicants match specific criteria, see below. After the application phase is over, all applicants are ranked by points, and the applicants with the most points will receive funding. The point system allows a maximum of 9 points. <br />
<br />
Applicants receive points for the following criteria<br />
<br />
===== Origin =====<br />
<br />
The allocation of points is based on the [world bank country rating by income](http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups).<br />
<br />
Applicants from Low-income economies receive 3 points.<br />
Applicants from Lower-middle-income economies receive 2 points.<br />
Applicants from Upper-middle-income economies receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
Please note: Only applicants from countries in these three groups are eligible for the travel grants program! (nationality or residence?)<br />
<br />
===== Gender =====<br />
<br />
In order to create a more diverse community, women applicants receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
===== Students =====<br />
<br />
Students in general receive 1 point. (maximum age?)<br />
<br />
If a student also participates in the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship), 1 point is awarded additionally.<br />
<br />
===== Submitted and accepted talks =====<br />
<br />
The Local Organizing Committee values applicants who are willing to contribute to the success of the FOSS4G. Therefore we award points for people who are willing to present at the conference.<br />
<br />
A talk submission that is denied earns 1 point.<br />
A talk submission that is accepted earns 3 points.<br />
<br />
==== Apply ====<br />
<br />
(How can applicants apply?)<br />
<br />
==== Timeline ====<br />
<br />
Applications can be handed in during the month of May. The decision will be made and announced in the first week of June. (Timeline?)<br />

Hello Google,<br />
<br />
OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are trying to encourage women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We have come across your grants programme, and wanted to ask if it was possible to get funding from Google.<br />
<br />

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,<br />
<br />
im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />
<br />
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.<br />
<br />
Herzliche Grüße,<br />

We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are setting up a travel grants program in order to encourage people from third world countries and women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We want to help participants with airfare, accomodation and conference passes. In past years demand for travel grants has always exceeded supply, so we are currently looking for sponsors who are active in Open Source to help us with the travel grants program. We would need around $1500 per participant. <br />
<br />
We are already avid users and promoters of Ubuntu, for example for several years we are handing out OSGeo Live, containing the whole OSGeo software stack, running on an Ubuntu CD and VM!<br />
<br />
Please let us know if Canonical can help us.<br />

=== FOSS4G 2014 ====<br />
<br />
Thanks to Kristin Bott for helping out here<br />
<br />
==== Some draft ====<br />
Hi XXX,<br />
<br />
Following up on a conversation you had with XXXX last week at XXXX re: the upcoming FOSS4G conference.<br />
<br />
To give you a bit of background -- FOSS4G* is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software; this September the 10th annual conference will be held in Portland with nearly 1,000 attendees hailing from 40 countries.<br />
<br />
For you, I believe the key here lies in the tie between postgres and PostGIS.<br />
<br />
The rapid expansion of PostGIS in the world of spatial databases is a huge driver in postgres growth. PostGIS is by far the most commonly-used open-source spatial database, meaning that FOSS4G is in many ways a postgres users conference. Given that XXXX just started hosting postgres, sponsoring FOSS4G would be a unique opportunity to connect with relevant users.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if XXX would be interested in sponsoring FOSS4G as at least a "Silver" sponsor. Silver sponsorship which would net you a 10' x 20' exhibit space and a quarter-page space in the conference program. We have a number of sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/> already on-board and are actively seeking additional opportunities. (And of course, if you'd like to go toe-to-toe with XXX, there's always tie Gold option...)<br />
<br />
Here is a bit more detail on sponsorship levels and benefits <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/> (note that we have flexibility and can tailor benefits packages), as well as a formal sponsor letter <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/call-for-sponsors/> from our Conference Chair, XXXX. (Alternate format: all of this can be found in our sponsorship brochure, attached.)<br />
<br />
Our sponsorships are flexible to some degree; if you have other ideas about how to give XXXX a strong presence at the conference, we'd be happy to discuss. (For example, as a "Silver" sponsor the 'break sponsorship' is listed as an additional $3,000 of support; that number may be able to be shifted.)<br />
<br />
Conference planning is sailing along - we have more than 45 workshops planned, and are finalizing our keynote speakers. We just passed the proposal deadline, and are looking forward to review the nearly<br />
300 submissions. I expect our visibility to increase over the coming months -- very exciting stuff.<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of this, and I hope all's well on<br />
your end.<br />
<br />
====Another draft====<br />
<br />
Hello XXX --<br />
<br />
I’m writing to you on behalf of the 2014 FOSS4G* organizing committee.<br />
<br />
As we build momentum for September, we are looking for more sponsors to join in supporting the conference. We are reaching out to you because we think that XXXX may be interested in joining us as a sponsor.<br />
Given that you are leading a workshop, you came to mind as a first point of contact; if you're not the right person to approach, perhaps you can connect me with the right person?<br />
<br />
Our plans for FOSS4G are packed with exciting content and dynamic people. We have confirmed three engaging keynote speakers — Mike Bostock of d3.js fame, Sarah Novotny of Nginix, and Al Shaw of ProPublica. The conference also features more than 40 workshops <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/workshops/>, and three packed days of presentations <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/sessions/>, with presenters representing 20 different countries.<br />
<br />
We’d love for you to be part of our conference and our community.<br />
<br />
Why FOSS4G, and why 2014?<br />
- FOSS4G is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software, with an expected audience of 850-1,000 attendees from more than 40 countries.<br />
- Our attendees include developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation.<br />
- If your goal is to connect with people in the geospatial realm, FOSS4G is a unique opportunity. With its attractive combination of culture and nature, Portland is an appealing conference venue which will attract a strong domestic and international audience.<br />
- By sponsoring this year, you will be in excellent company. (Current sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/>)<br />
<br />
Sponsorship packages start at $1,500, with benefits increasing at each level. I'm wondering if XXXX might be interested to support us as a Bronze Sponsor ($3,500), which includes a conference pass, a 10'x10'<br />
exhibit space, and a quarter-page listing in our conference program. For full details, see our sponsorship page <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/>.<br />
<br />
We have some flexibility within our sponsorship packages; if our standard options don’t work for you, please, contact us <foss4g2014-sponsor@osgeo.org> to discuss alternatives.<br />
<br />
'''If sponsorship does not feel like a fit, please consider donating to our travel grant program. This year we are trying something new: increasing access to the conference<br />
<https://2014.foss4g.org/travel-grant-details-available/> by helping to cover registration and lodging costs for some deserving attendees. Applications are in, but the requests total more than ten times our current budget. Any donation made will help strengthen the conference by bringing community members with budget limitations. Let me know if you would like to discuss visibility for larger donations.'''<br />
<br />
If you have any questions or thoughts on sponsorship or this year’s conference, please let me know. We look forward to great things in September, and hope you will be able to join us.<br />
<br />
cheers -<br />

=== Sponsors ===<br />
<br />
The travel grants program is currently sponsored exclusively by OSGeo and private donors. As the demand for travel grant funds is always higher than the supply, we need your help to get as many applicants to Bonn as possible. We aim to fund at least one applicant by private donations. In order to reach this goal we need at least 1000 Euro. <br />
<br />
Please consider donating 25 EUR (or more) to this cause! (Hall of fame for donors? Raffle?)<br />
<br />
(A progress bar would also be nice)<br />
<br />
==== Tax returns for donations ====<br />
<br />
The money is going to FOSSGIS e.V. (the german chapter of OSGeo). As FOSSGIS e.V. is a charitable organization, donors will receive (if needed) a written confirmation of their donation in order to claim a tax return.<br />
<br />
=== Applicants ===<br />
<br />
==== Coverage ====<br />
<br />
Travel grants only cover the cost of a conference pass and accomodation in Bonn during the conference. <br />
<br />
Please understand that travel cost like airfare is not covered by the travel grants program! Applicants are solely responsible to make travel and visa arrangements.<br />
<br />
For students who need help with covering their travel cost, we offer the studentship programme, where students volunteer to help out during the conference. Applicants whose travel grants application has been accepted can earn a few hundred Euros (exact amount?) in order to cover for their travel cost. This compensation will be paid in cash after the conference. If interested, please also register for the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship).<br />
<br />
==== Acceptance criteria ====<br />
<br />
In order to guarantee a transparent and fair allocation of funds, the travel grants program uses a points system for ranking applications. Points are awarded if applicants match specific criteria, see below. After the application phase is over, all applicants are ranked by points, and the applicants with the most points will receive funding. The point system allows a maximum of 9 points. <br />
<br />
Applicants receive points for the following criteria<br />
<br />
===== Origin =====<br />
<br />
The allocation of points is based on the [world bank country rating by income](http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups).<br />
<br />
Applicants from Low-income economies receive 3 points.<br />
Applicants from Lower-middle-income economies receive 2 points.<br />
Applicants from Upper-middle-income economies receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
Please note: Only applicants from countries in these three groups are eligible for the travel grants program! (nationality or residence?)<br />
<br />
===== Gender =====<br />
<br />
In order to create a more diverse community, women applicants receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
===== Students =====<br />
<br />
Students in general receive 1 point. (maximum age?)<br />
<br />
If a student also participates in the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship), 1 point is awarded additionally.<br />
<br />
===== Submitted and accepted talks =====<br />
<br />
The Local Organizing Committee values applicants who are willing to contribute to the success of the FOSS4G. Therefore we award points for people who are willing to present at the conference.<br />
<br />
A talk submission that is denied earns 1 point.<br />
A talk submission that is accepted earns 3 points.<br />
<br />
==== Apply ====<br />
<br />
(How can applicants apply?)<br />
<br />
==== Timeline ====<br />
<br />
Applications can be handed in during the month of May. The decision will be made and announced in the first week of June. (Timeline?)<br />

We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,<br />
<br />
im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />
<br />
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.<br />

OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another about Open Source software in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are setting up a travel grants program in order to encourage people from third world countries and women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We want to help participants with airfare, accomodation and conference passes. In past years demand for travel grants has always exceeded supply, so we are currently looking for sponsors who are active in Open Source to help us with the travel grants program. We would need around $1500 per participant. <br />
<br />
We are already avid users and promoters of Ubuntu, for example for several years we are handing out OSGeo Live, containing the whole OSGeo software stack, running on an Ubuntu CD and VM!<br />
<br />
Please let us know if Canonical can help us.<br />

=== FOSS4G 2014 ====<br />
<br />
Thanks to Kristin Bott for helping out here<br />
<br />
==== Some draft ====<br />
Hi XXX,<br />
<br />
Following up on a conversation you had with XXXX last week at XXXX re: the upcoming FOSS4G conference.<br />
<br />
To give you a bit of background -- FOSS4G* is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software; this September the 10th annual conference will be held in Portland with nearly 1,000 attendees hailing from 40 countries.<br />
<br />
For you, I believe the key here lies in the tie between postgres and PostGIS.<br />
<br />
The rapid expansion of PostGIS in the world of spatial databases is a huge driver in postgres growth. PostGIS is by far the most commonly-used open-source spatial database, meaning that FOSS4G is in many ways a postgres users conference. Given that XXXX just started hosting postgres, sponsoring FOSS4G would be a unique opportunity to connect with relevant users.<br />
<br />
I am wondering if XXX would be interested in sponsoring FOSS4G as at least a "Silver" sponsor. Silver sponsorship which would net you a 10' x 20' exhibit space and a quarter-page space in the conference program. We have a number of sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/> already on-board and are actively seeking additional opportunities. (And of course, if you'd like to go toe-to-toe with XXX, there's always tie Gold option...)<br />
<br />
Here is a bit more detail on sponsorship levels and benefits <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/> (note that we have flexibility and can tailor benefits packages), as well as a formal sponsor letter <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/call-for-sponsors/> from our Conference Chair, XXXX. (Alternate format: all of this can be found in our sponsorship brochure, attached.)<br />
<br />
Our sponsorships are flexible to some degree; if you have other ideas about how to give XXXX a strong presence at the conference, we'd be happy to discuss. (For example, as a "Silver" sponsor the 'break sponsorship' is listed as an additional $3,000 of support; that number may be able to be shifted.)<br />
<br />
Conference planning is sailing along - we have more than 45 workshops planned, and are finalizing our keynote speakers. We just passed the proposal deadline, and are looking forward to review the nearly<br />
300 submissions. I expect our visibility to increase over the coming months -- very exciting stuff.<br />
<br />
I'd love to hear your thoughts on any of this, and I hope all's well on<br />
your end.<br />
<br />
====Another draft====<br />
<br />
Hello XXX --<br />
<br />
I’m writing to you on behalf of the 2014 FOSS4G* organizing committee.<br />
<br />
As we build momentum for September, we are looking for more sponsors to join in supporting the conference. We are reaching out to you because we think that XXXX may be interested in joining us as a sponsor.<br />
Given that you are leading a workshop, you came to mind as a first point of contact; if you're not the right person to approach, perhaps you can connect me with the right person?<br />
<br />
Our plans for FOSS4G are packed with exciting content and dynamic people. We have confirmed three engaging keynote speakers — Mike Bostock of d3.js fame, Sarah Novotny of Nginix, and Al Shaw of ProPublica. The conference also features more than 40 workshops <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/workshops/>, and three packed days of presentations <https://2014.foss4g.org/schedule/sessions/>, with presenters representing 20 different countries.<br />
<br />
We’d love for you to be part of our conference and our community.<br />
<br />
Why FOSS4G, and why 2014?<br />
- FOSS4G is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software, with an expected audience of 850-1,000 attendees from more than 40 countries.<br />
- Our attendees include developers, users, decision-makers and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation.<br />
- If your goal is to connect with people in the geospatial realm, FOSS4G is a unique opportunity. With its attractive combination of culture and nature, Portland is an appealing conference venue which will attract a strong domestic and international audience.<br />
- By sponsoring this year, you will be in excellent company. (Current sponsors <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsors/>)<br />
<br />
Sponsorship packages start at $1,500, with benefits increasing at each level. I'm wondering if XXXX might be interested to support us as a Bronze Sponsor ($3,500), which includes a conference pass, a 10'x10'<br />
exhibit space, and a quarter-page listing in our conference program. For full details, see our sponsorship page <https://2014.foss4g.org/sponsor-foss4g/sponsorships/>.<br />
<br />
We have some flexibility within our sponsorship packages; if our standard options don’t work for you, please, contact us <foss4g2014-sponsor@osgeo.org> to discuss alternatives.<br />
<br />
'''If sponsorship does not feel like a fit, please consider donating to our travel grant program. This year we are trying something new: increasing access to the conference<br />
<https://2014.foss4g.org/travel-grant-details-available/> by helping to cover registration and lodging costs for some deserving attendees. Applications are in, but the requests total more than ten times our current budget. Any donation made will help strengthen the conference by bringing community members with budget limitations. Let me know if you would like to discuss visibility for larger donations.'''<br />
<br />
If you have any questions or thoughts on sponsorship or this year’s conference, please let me know. We look forward to great things in September, and hope you will be able to join us.<br />
<br />
cheers -<br />

<div>== Lessons Learned ==<br />
<br />
There were four types of sponsors we addresses for the travel grant program<br />
* OSGeo<br />
* Companies<br />
* Foundations<br />
* Community<br />
<br />
<br />
=== Fundraising 101 ===<br />
(A lot of these ideas came from Kristin Bott - thanks!)<br />
<br />
* Don't be uncomfortable asking for money - worst case is people say no.<br />
<br />
==== Companies ====<br />
* The Travel Grants Program should work closely with the Sponsorship program! All inquiries to potential sponsors should include an option to sponsor the travel grants program. We didn't do that and it made it really hard to raise funds from other sources.<br />
* Learn as much as you can about potential sponsors<br />
* Write a letter template that seemed compelling, customize the letter to each company based on what you knew about them and<br />
their previous giving level<br />
* Make a specific ask ("we invite you to sponsor at the Bronze level..."), including explicit mention of what they would get for that investment (booth space, space in program, etc) -- having already mentioned the # of attendees (proof to the sponsor that it would be a good use of money)<br />
* send that letter (email) to the individual contact (not general email) at the company.<br />
* as part of the sponsor letter, bring up the Travel Grant program as another option ("if full sponsorship is not a fit for your company right now, please consider...")<br />
<br />
==== Foundations and government programs ====<br />
* This is hard to pull off - do a lot of research but still be early. You should send out applications at least nine months before the conference starts. We were too late in one case where sponsoring would likely have succeeded.<br />
* Focus on foundations that specialize in science, technology and international collaboration.<br />
* Most governments programs and some foundations require some kind of formal application - this can be time consuming and involve some level of bureaucracy.<br />
* Check the discussion page for a list of foundations we addresses.<br />
<br />
==== Private sponsors ====<br />
* Create a sponsoring option at check-out as part of the normal registration process<br />
* Also add a stand-alone link on the website for just donation.<br />
<br />
==== OSGeo ====<br />
* Ask the OSGeo board about funding as soon as possible - this is the easiest way to get money into the program.</div>Wiki-Christoph Baudsonhttps://wiki.osgeo.org/w/index.php?title=FOSS4G_2016_Lessons_Learned&diff=98099FOSS4G 2016 Lessons Learned2016-04-19T06:06:08Z<p>Wiki-Christoph Baudson: </p>

<br />
== FOSS4G 2016 Lessons Learned ==<br />
<br />
This is to document things that the local committee learned, for the benefit of future FOSS4Gs!! <br />
<br />
=== Logo ===<br />
<br />
=== Sponsorship ===<br />
* Arnulf just told me, that the 1500$ supporter package was especially created "as is", means with conference pass and is used by smaller companies - which are the ground deposit and so important for spreading the word! That's the reason, why we didn't touch it...<br />
<br />
* We've done a very, very conservative calculation and only calculated '''40k''' sponsoring money. Of course, the more, the better, but doing that will give you a more robust view on what attendees must bring in return. Might be you should adapt your break even points or even have to rise your fees.<br />
<br />
* Might be think of seperating exhibition and sponsorship - I've just seen some empty big booths from Gold Sponsors in Seoul... manned booth are much more attractive for all attendees and so in general for all exhibitors ;-)<br />
<br />
* The Travel Grants Program should work more closely with the Sponsorship program. All inquiries to potential sponsors should include an option to sponsor the travel grants program.<br />
<br />
=== Financial ===<br />
<br />
* Make kind of a risk analysis, that lists the costs you have 6,3,2,1 month before the event - this shows clearly, which costs you have in the very unlikely case, you have to cancel. Comparing these costs with the number of already registered attendees will help you to sleep better ;-)<br />
<br />
* About Early Birdies - I just talked to Sanghee, chair of the 2015 event. In Seoul 25% of all attendees registered few days before online registration closed or did it on-site! And that's why we thought about how we can attract Early Birders with more than just a smaller price. I like the early plans from Boston attracting Early Birdies especially!<br />
<br />
=== LOC Organization ===<br />
<br />
=== Marketing ===<br />
<br />
=== Discounts ===<br />
* Keep in mind, that offering special rates for students (and other groups) might cause problems for your general calculation!<br />
<br />
=== Travel Grants ===<br />
<br />
See [[FOSS4G 2016 Travel Grants]]<br />
<br />
=== Abstract Submissions ===<br />
<br />
=== Paper selection ===<br />
<br />
=== Workshops ===<br />
<br />
=== Academic Track ===<br />
<br />
=== Code Sprint ===<br />
* We plan a two day codesprint before and a two day codesprint after the conference (to be honest, we wanted to have 4 days before, but that did not work because of room avalability issues). There was a very, very positive feedback from various OSGeo-projects in doing so. So think of extending the traditional Code Sprint Saturday somehow<br />

<br />
=== Sponsors ===<br />
<br />
The travel grants program is currently sponsored exclusively by OSGeo and private donors. As the demand for travel grant funds is always higher than the supply, we need your help to get as many applicants to Bonn as possible. We aim to fund at least one applicant by private donations. In order to reach this goal we need at least 1000 Euro. <br />
<br />
Please consider donating 25 EUR (or more) to this cause! (Hall of fame for donors? Raffle?)<br />
<br />
(A progress bar would also be nice)<br />
<br />
==== Tax returns for donations ====<br />
<br />
The money is going to FOSSGIS e.V. (the german chapter of OSGeo). As FOSSGIS e.V. is a charitable organization, donors will receive (if needed) a written confirmation of their donation in order to claim a tax return.<br />
<br />
=== Applicants ===<br />
<br />
==== Coverage ====<br />
<br />
Travel grants only cover the cost of a conference pass and accomodation in Bonn during the conference. <br />
<br />
Please understand that travel cost like airfare is not covered by the travel grants program! Applicants are solely responsible to make travel and visa arrangements.<br />
<br />
For students who need help with covering their travel cost, we offer the studentship programme, where students volunteer to help out during the conference. Applicants whose travel grants application has been accepted can earn a few hundred Euros (exact amount?) in order to cover for their travel cost. This compensation will be paid in cash after the conference. If interested, please also register for the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship).<br />
<br />
==== Acceptance criteria ====<br />
<br />
In order to guarantee a transparent and fair allocation of funds, the travel grants program uses a points system for ranking applications. Points are awarded if applicants match specific criteria, see below. After the application phase is over, all applicants are ranked by points, and the applicants with the most points will receive funding. The point system allows a maximum of 9 points. <br />
<br />
Applicants receive points for the following criteria<br />
<br />
===== Origin =====<br />
<br />
The allocation of points is based on the [world bank country rating by income](http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups).<br />
<br />
Applicants from Low-income economies receive 3 points.<br />
Applicants from Lower-middle-income economies receive 2 points.<br />
Applicants from Upper-middle-income economies receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
Please note: Only applicants from countries in these three groups are eligible for the travel grants program! (nationality or residence?)<br />
<br />
===== Gender =====<br />
<br />
In order to create a more diverse community, women applicants receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
===== Students =====<br />
<br />
Students in general receive 1 point. (maximum age?)<br />
<br />
If a student also participates in the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html=studentship), 1 point is awarded additionally.<br />
<br />
===== Submitted and accepted talks =====<br />
<br />
The Local Organizing Committee values applicants who are willing to contribute to the success of the FOSS4G. Therefore we award points for people who are willing to present at the conference.<br />
<br />
A talk submission that is denied earns 1 point.<br />
A talk submission that is accepted earns 3 points.<br />
<br />
==== Apply ====<br />
<br />
(How can applicants apply?)<br />
<br />
==== Timeline ====<br />
<br />
Applications can be handed in during the month of May. The decision will be made and announced in the first week of June. (Timeline?)<br />

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,<br />
<br />
im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />
<br />
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.<br />

### Tax returns for donations ###<br />
<br />
The money is going to FOSSGIS e.V. (the german chapter of OSGeo). As FOSSGIS e.V. is a charitable organization, donors will receive (if needed) a written confirmation of their donation in order to claim a tax return.<br />
<br />
## Applicants ##<br />
<br />
### Coverage ###<br />
<br />
Travel grants only cover the cost of a conference pass and accomodation in Bonn during the conference. <br />
<br />
Please understand that travel cost like airfare is not covered by the travel grants program! Applicants are solely responsible to make travel and visa arrangements.<br />
<br />
For students who need help with covering their travel cost, we offer the studentship programme, where students volunteer to help out during the conference. Applicants whose travel grants application has been accepted can earn a few hundred Euros (exact amount?) in order to cover for their travel cost. This compensation will be paid in cash after the conference. If interested, please also register for the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html#studentship).<br />
<br />
### Acceptance criteria ###<br />
<br />
In order to guarantee a transparent and fair allocation of funds, the travel grants program uses a points system for ranking applications. Points are awarded if applicants match specific criteria, see below. After the application phase is over, all applicants are ranked by points, and the applicants with the most points will receive funding. The point system allows a maximum of 9 points. <br />
<br />
Applicants receive points for the following criteria<br />
<br />
#### Origin ####<br />
<br />
The allocation of points is based on the [world bank country rating by income](http://data.worldbank.org/about/country-and-lending-groups).<br />
<br />
Applicants from Low-income economies receive 3 points.<br />
Applicants from Lower-middle-income economies receive 2 points.<br />
Applicants from Upper-middle-income economies receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
Please note: Only applicants from countries in these three groups are eligible for the travel grants program! (nationality or residence?)<br />
<br />
#### Gender ####<br />
<br />
In order to create a more diverse community, women applicants receive 1 point.<br />
<br />
#### Students ####<br />
<br />
Students in general receive 1 point. (maximum age?)<br />
<br />
If a student also participates in the [studentship program](http://2016.foss4g.org/attending.html#studentship), 1 point is awarded additionally.<br />
<br />
#### Submitted and accepted talks ####<br />
<br />
The Local Organizing Committee values applicants who are willing to contribute to the success of the FOSS4G. Therefore we award points for people who are willing to present at the conference.<br />
<br />
A talk submission that is denied earns 1 point.<br />
A talk submission that is accepted earns 3 points.<br />
<br />
### Apply ###<br />
<br />
(How can applicants apply?)<br />
<br />
### Timeline ###<br />
<br />
Applications can be handed in during the month of May. The decision will be made and announced in the first week of June. (Timeline?)<br />
<br />

Hello Google,<br />
<br />
OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are trying to encourage women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We have come across your grants programme, and wanted to ask if it was possible to get funding from Google.<br />
<br />

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,<br />
<br />
im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />
<br />
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.<br />

Hello Google,<br />
<br />
OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are trying to encourage women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We have come across your grants programme, and wanted to ask if it was possible to get funding from Google.<br />
<br />

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,<br />
<br />
im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />
<br />
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.<br />

Herzliche Grüße,<br />

We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are setting up a travel grants program in order to encourage people from third world countries and women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We want to help participants with airfare, accomodation and conference passes. In past years demand for travel grants has always exceeded supply, so we are currently looking for sponsors who are active in Open Source to help us with the travel grants program. We would need around $1500 per participant. <br />
<br />
We are already avid users and promoters of Ubuntu, for example for several years we are handing out OSGeo Live, containing the whole OSGeo software stack, running on an Ubuntu CD and VM!<br />

OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another about Open Source software in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are setting up a travel grants program in order to encourage people from third world countries and women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We want to help participants with airfare, accomodation and conference passes. In past years demand for travel grants has always exceeded supply, so we are currently looking for sponsors who are active in Open Source to help us with the travel grants program. We would need around $1500 per participant. <br />
<br />
We are already avid users and promoters of Ubuntu, for example for several years we are handing out OSGeo Live, containing the whole OSGeo software stack, running on an Ubuntu CD and VM!<br />

<br />
im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />

Hello Google,<br />
<br />
OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are trying to encourage women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We have come across your grants programme, and wanted to ask if it was possible to get funding from Google.<br />

Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />

We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are setting up a travel grants program in order to encourage people from third world countries and women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We want to help participants with airfare, accomodation and conference passes. In past years demand for travel grants has always exceeded supply, so we are currently looking for sponsors who are active in Open Source to help us with the travel grants program. We would need around $1500 per participant. <br />
<br />
We are already avid users and promoters of Ubuntu, for example for several years we are handing out OSGeo Live, containing the whole OSGeo software stack, running on an Ubuntu CD and VM!<br />

Hello Google,<br />
<br />
OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are trying to encourage women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We have come across your grants programme, and wanted to ask if it was possible to get funding from Google.<br />
<br />
https://www.google.com/edu/scholarships/google-travel-and-conference-grants/<br />
<br />
Please let us know if Google can help us.<br />

Thank you for your consideration :)<br />

Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,<br />
<br />
im Namen der OSGeo (Open Source Geospatial Foundation), eine Non-Profit Organisation die sich für die Förderung von Freier und Open Source Software in der räumlichen Datenverarbeitung einsetzt, möchte ich die Humboldt-Stiftung um Unterstützung bitten.<br />
<br />
Unsere Organisation veranstaltet seit 2006 die jährlich stattfindende FOSS4G Konferenz, die 2016 zum ersten Mal in Deutschland (in Bonn) stattfindet (https://foss4g2016.org/home.html). Diese Konferenz hat die Schwerpunkte Freie Geodaten, Fernerkundung, Katastrophenmanagement und Landinformation, und ist mit etwa 900 Teilnehmern aus der ganzen Welt ein einzigartiger Treffpunkt für Produzenten und Nutzer freier Software für geographische Informationssysteme aus Wirtschaft, öffentlicher Verwaltung und Forschung.<br />
<br />
Um ein möglichst diverses und damit interessantes Teilnehmerfeld ermöglichen zu können, suchen wir Sponsoren die dazu beitragen auch benachteiligten Personen Zugang zur Konferenz verschaffen können. Wir würden insbesondere Studenten, Frauen und Menschen aus Schwellenländern den Zugang zur Konferenz erleichtern. Wir suchen Sponsoren, die zum Beispiel Flug-, Hotel- oder Konferenzkosten übernehmen können. Für eine einzelne Person würden im Durchschnitt etwa 1500€ an Kosten anfallen.<br />
<br />
Die Humboldt-Stiftung ist uns als Förderer von internationalen wissenschaftlichen Veranstaltungen bekannt. Wir würden uns über ihr Engagement freuen.<br />
<br />
Bei Rückfragen stehe ich jederzeit zur Verfügung.<br />

Hello Google,<br />
<br />
OSGeo, the Open Source Geospatial Foundation, is hosting its annual FOSS4G conference in Bonn, Germany, in August 2016. It is the main meeting place and educational outreach opportunity for OSGeo members, supporters and newcomers - to share and learn from one another in presentations, hands-on workshops and a conference exhibition. We are expecting around 900 participants from all over the world.<br />
<br />
We are trying to encourage women who work or study in the geospatial domain to join the conference. We have come across your grants programme, and wanted to ask if it was possible to get funding from Google.<br />
